thx guys
the ol lady had that look of
wtf more cars really!
i said but honey :roll:
i could'nt pass them up
but whats weird is that i noticed on this forum
is that when a member finds something it seems like it starts a pattern of other members finding the same type of car/trucks
for example ive seen about four are more listings of new found 10ts
and before that it was optima mid stuff
than before that it was a wave of oval cars
kinda interesting
wonder if the RC spirits are playing jokes on us
maybe they can point us in the direction of some MIP4wd cars
that would be cool
well enough rambling here is the FRONT tire of the BlackFoot
kinda odd that it is white was that standard issue?
i see alot of yellow ones and even some reds
thx

I do have a set of the very same front wheels and tires, just let me find them and there yours for what ever it costs me to mail them. I'll send you a pm when I dig them out.

You also got what looks like crp steering knuckles on the blackfoot. They were a must have back in the day

The white rims were I think proline....
